Filter by:We propose to evaluate the efficacy of treatment with Hydrocortisone and Dexamethasone (in a cross-over design) in patients with ocular prostheses and significant functional discomfort.
The purpose of this interventional study is to assess safety, patient tolerability, plug retention rate, and preliminary efficacy in improving the symptoms of Dry Eye Disease (DED) of EXP-TC tacrolimus releasing punctal plug. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. The safety of using EXP-TC plug following all study adverse events 2. The number of patients with Adverse Events related to the us of EXP-LP plug 3. The number of patients discontinuing the study due to plug discomfort 4. The total patients with plugs remained during the 3-months study duration from plug insertion 5. Exploratory: change from baseline in the study eye to follow-up visits in various Dryness clinical measurements. The change of measurements from baseline will also be compared between the study and fellow control eye (receiving artificial tears only, 0.15% sodium hyaluronate).
This is a randomized control trial comparing the effects of subconjunctival triamcinolone administration during surgery to topical prednisolone drops on the development of post-operative inflammation and macular edema in manual small incision cataract surgery.
Use of Cyclosporine 0.1% Eye Drops as Prophylactic Treatment in cataract Surgery
Background: Uveitis refers to a large group of inflammatory diseases in the eye. The inflammation can be caused by many factors, such as trauma, medicine, or infection. It can also be caused by systemic diseases. Uveitis and ocular inflammation can cause vision loss. Both children and adults can have uveitis. Standard treatment is to suppress the immune system. But this can result in high costs as well as bad side effects. Researchers want to look at data from NEI studies. They want to learn more about how uveitis progresses and responds to treatment. Objective: To find biomarkers to better understand uveitic diseases, assess disease severity, and create outcome measures of response to treatment and disease activity. Eligibility: People ages 4 and older from certain NEI studies who have uveitis or ocular inflammation, and healthy volunteers Design: Data will be taken from NEI studies from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2025. Data will only be collected for participants who agreed to let their data be used for future research. No new tests will be done on any samples. Laboratory results and images will be used. Medical chart data, such as symptoms, medicine history, and treatment course, will be used. Personal data, such as name, medical record number, and date of birth, will be used. COVID-19 has been reported to cause eye changes. Exam findings of participants who had COVID-19 will be reviewed as well. Machine learning will be used to study the data. This study will take place at the NIH Clinical Center. All data will be securely stored.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly identified, highly contagious RNA virus causing respiratory infectious disease, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Conjunctivitis has been reported as a rare finding of the disease, and preliminary studies showed that the virus RNA could be detected in ocular secretions using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays when conjunctivitis present. This study aims to estimate the proportion of SARS-CoV-2 associated conjunctivitis among patients with suspected viral conjunctivitis presented to the ophthalmology clinics of Wilmer Eye Institute during the COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators also aim to identify whether SARS-CoV-2 associated conjunctivitis is an isolated finding or an early sign of COVID-19.
This study will assess the control of inflammation at days 1, 7, 14, and 21 days following the vitreoretinal surgical procedure analyzing two randomized study arms: Intracanalicular dexamethasone insert group or topical steroid drop group. Patients must be 18 years of age and older, of any race and either sex, requiring surgery with the procedure type of pars plana vitrectomy for either the indication of macular hole, epiretinal membrane removal, or vitreomacular traction.
The aim of this study is to determine vitreous levels of nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and prostaglandinE2 (PGE2) in eyes scheduled for vitrectomy. All patients received the study drugs for 3 days before surgery. 0.5 to 1.0 mL of undiluted vitreous was removed using the vitreous cutter positioned in the midvitreous cavity. Samples were immediately frozen and stored at −80°C until analysis. Sample analyses were performed using an high-performance liquid chromatography system. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.8 ng/mL. PGE2 levels were analyzed using the Prostaglandin E2 Monoclonal EIA Kit (Cayman Chemical Company) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
This study is designed to assess how KPI-121 1% compares to prednisolone acetate in reducing inflammation after cataract surgery in young children. Approximately half the participants will receive KPI-121 1% eye drops and the other half will receive prednisolone acetate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Saturno II association on the control of ocular inflammation post-phacoemulsification
